When people ask
what's your favorite thing in life
I say being in 8th grade
when they ask why
I tell them
what could be better than 20 hours of homework?
80 page tests?
and essays that make you want to claw your eyes out?
and if that didn't convince you, how about gym classes that leave you broken and bent?
twisted and turned?
and maybe after a long day
you'd like to join me on our field,
eating sandwiches that even the cats won't touch
and when the day is done, won't you join me for a pleasant bus ride with evil drivers
who's glares could physically burn your eyes?
now that you know all this
don't you love 8th grade too?
Music
What do you hear when you listen to music?
what do you see?
is there a different between "Jimmy" and "50"?
is there a different between you and me?
do you love the rhythm?
do you adore the rhyme?
does it fill your heart with joy?
does it fill your soul with light?
do you take shelter in the hypnotic beat?
is just listening to it a treat?
it is for me
The Town That Don't Exist
Have you herd of a town by the name of Dirnt
where everything is wrong
where whites and blacks don't exist
and poverty is make believe
this is a town where oil runs like water
and global warming is as fictional as poverty
have you herd of a town by the name of Tnrid
where everything is right
where racism is plentiful
and wealth is a thing of the past
this is a town where filth-covered water runs wild through the streets
with winters as hot as your stolen oven
now think to yourself
which one do you live in?
Silence (based on the song "Know The Enemy")
Silence is golden
silence is the enemy
silence is your friend
